Scenario Planning of Future Freight and Passenger Traffic Flows across the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada Borders

The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Federal Highway Administration, initiated a study, in cooperation with Transport Canada
and the Mexican Secretariat of Transportation and Communications, to develop U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada projections of future freight and
passenger volumes over the next 30 years (2015 – 2045) from a North American framework and a regional border perspective.
